Enjoyed the video. I do have to correct you on one thing though… The Z Fold 6 and the Pro Fold have the same water protection rating. The Z Fold is IP48 and the Pro Fold is IPX8. The first digit is in regard to dust protection and the 2nd digit is water protection. The Z Fold has 4 for dust protection, which means it protects against “dust particles over 1mm in size”, which doesn’t sound like much of a dust particle to me. The Pro Fold doesn’t offer any dust protection. But, they both have the same scores and protection from water.
I always maintain that nobody can do more than one thing at a time effectively not to talk of three. I think multitasking generally shouldn't be more than doing two things at a time.
@@paulauger2609So today I was using two apps for my work and a notification popped up alerting me someone was in my lobby. I was able to open that alert in a third, floating window, talk to this person via the camera, then go back to my business. That said, there are times where three things are useful.
I'm glad that you're loving it! Just make sure you don't drop anything on the display, I dropped my z fold 6 on the display and now there's a dead pixel
You need to add a correction caption for the waterproof rating section around the 6:50 mark. Both the Z Fold 6 and Pixel 9 Pro Fold are IP X8 rated, that means they can both be submerged in up to 1.5m of water and deal with jets of water. The IP4X rating on the Galaxy just means the hinge is rated for dust ingress up to 1mm in size. That means it's only dust resistant against large 1mm+ debris, but useless against fine dust. Neither should be submerged for long and neither are resistant to fine dust.
No issue setting up prints. I'm not sure yet which foldable I'm liking the best. OPO and z fold 5 I've had since launch. Trading fold 5 for fold 6. 6 should be here in 3 days. Pixel fold pro 9 is WAY better than the first one. I returned it right away because i really didn't like it. PF9P will definitely be in my phone rotation. 🐬
Great review. It all comes down to personal preference. I absolutely love my Fold 6 and for me it's a better device overall. I also prefer the boxier look. Hoping for Fold 7 to be a wee bit larger and then it would be perfect to me! I love competition for sure!
So you're hoping the zfold becomes an Oneplus Open which has been out a year already and is superior in so many ways: 1-Both It's screens are higher resolution. 2-It's thin and lighter, making it most useful for one-handed use. 3-It's Crease is invisible compared to the others. 4-The battery longer life. 5-Fastest charging. 6-Expandable ram to 28GB RAM. 7-It's louder better speakers. 8-Bluetooth Stylus support on BOTH screens. 9-It has an IR Blaster remote. 10-recentlyupdated software. 11-Superior multitasking views. 12-desktop(Dex) mode ability. 13-New "AI Eraser" beats "Majic Editor" erasing) 14-Better cameras. 15-L0WeR price. Personal preference doesn't outweigh the facts.
I don't have a problem with the camera bar. I do prefer the pixel 9 version but I'm totally fine with the current one it still looks fantastic in my opinion.
@RjeyTech Thanks for asking! I’m really loving it so far. The battery life is excellent, the cameras are solid, and the software experience is super simple. The large inner screen is stunning for watching content, and the outer screen makes typing a breeze. Overall, it’s a well-rounded device!
@@RjeyTech I personally use it to be my imax or 4:3 screen. If you are concerned about the black bar on the top in horizontal folding pattern, that is fixed for TH-cam app in QPR1 beta. But it is still there in apps like prime and Netflix.
I literally just picked up mine an hour ago from my local best buy about an hour away from you and just watching some reviews before opening it as I already have a p8p so not sure if going to keep both phones or the try out fold and if not at least get the free year of Gemini and then return the fold and get p9p xl
My expectations were very high, but after 2 days of using this phone I'm a little bit disappointed, I'm not sure if the quality of front screen is that good like people say in the reviews, selfie cameras are very poor, in low light the image reminds me of a phone from 10 years ago, after trying some games it made me feel like having a budget phone by not being able to max out the settings in most titles. The inside screen feels uneven to look at. The build feels very premium, but it's just not a perfect phone.
Why do reviewers keep confusing smooth animations with smooth performance. The pixel 8 pro is still a stuttery mess a year after launch in TONs of scrolling apps, including reddit, Google news feed, TH-cam, etc...add to that the number of visual and technical hiccups and this myth just has to die about Google phones being anywhere near Samsung in consistent performance
@@themasonera I mean, you can deny that adding OS updates heavy on features onto an already slow processor isn't going to make it chug, heat up, and slow down but you'd be talking out your ass. I wanted to love the pixel 8 pro (and the 7a I had before that) but when the mid range snapdragon in my pixel 5 runs just as "smooth", you know there's something wrong.
@@jebaker2 1. Highly Intelligent: • Dolphins are considered one of the most intelligent animals on Earth. Their brains are large relative to their body size, and they exhibit complex problem-solving abilities, social behaviors, and even tool use. Some species have been observed using sponges to protect their snouts while foraging on the seafloor. 2. Complex Communication: • Dolphins use a variety of sounds, including clicks, whistles, and body language, to communicate with each other. Each dolphin has a unique whistle, almost like a name, that allows them to identify and call out to one another. 3. Altruistic Behavior: • Dolphins are known to display altruistic behaviors, including helping injured individuals, both within their species and with other species. There are several recorded instances of dolphins protecting humans from sharks or guiding stranded people back to shore. 4. Echolocation: • Dolphins use echolocation to navigate and hunt. They emit sound waves and listen for the echoes that bounce back from objects to determine their location, size, and shape. This ability is highly refined and allows dolphins to “see” in dark or murky waters. 5. Social Creatures: • Dolphins are incredibly social animals and often live in groups called pods. These pods can consist of just a few dolphins or, in some cases, thousands. Dolphins within pods engage in cooperative behaviors such as hunting together and caring for each other’s young. 6. They Can Swim Fast: • Dolphins are powerful swimmers, capable of reaching speeds of up to 60 km/h (37 mph). Their streamlined bodies and powerful tails make them highly efficient swimmers, perfect for catching fast-moving prey. 7. Long Lifespan: • Depending on the species, dolphins can live for many decades. For example, bottlenose dolphins can live up to 40-50 years in the wild, with some even reaching into their 60s. 8. They Sleep with Half Their Brain: • Dolphins have the ability to shut down one half of their brain while the other half remains awake. This process, called unihemispheric slow-wave sleep, allows them to continue swimming and coming up for air while resting one half of their brain at a time. 9. Dolphins and Self-Awareness: • Dolphins are one of the few species, alongside great apes and humans, that have demonstrated self-awareness. They can recognize themselves in mirrors, indicating a level of cognitive function and consciousness. 10. Variety of Species: • There are around 90 species of cetaceans (which includes dolphins, whales, and porpoises). Dolphins belong to the delphinidae family, and the most well-known species is the bottlenose dolphin, but there are many others like the orca (killer whale), which is actually the largest species of dolphin. Dolphins are truly remarkable creatures, with their intelligence, social structure, and unique biological adaptations making them some of the most fascinating animals in the ocean!
3:45 it's not just multitasking, it's things like app scaling, too. Pixel Fold also lacks any sort of reachability for one-handed use. Pixel Experience is awful on a large screen. I really wish reviewers would stop glossing over this, instead incessantly praising Pixel Experience's "smoothness". 6:40 that video was a jittery mess. 7:45 you're probably the only person in the world saying the Pixel Fold is one-handable and the Z Fold isn't. That is almost unanimously touted as the Z Fold's biggest strength as a result of its form factor.
@@LarsRyeJeppesen software? Multitasking with the big screen is 10 times better on the OnePlus open.

I found the hinge to be excellent and zero fingerprint issues. I wonder if you got a banged up unit. 🤔
I’m not saying the hinge is bad but compared to the Z fold 6 I find the fold 6 to be a bit more sturdy
The overall difference between the pixel 6pro and this chonky boi is night and day from using it so far i am really impressed
Do you have a good recommendation for a case for the fold 9 pro?
Good initial review. Can’t disagree with any points as a pixel 9 pro fold owner.
